ClearOne has delivered the DIALOG 20 USB two–channel wireless microphone system featuring less than four milliseconds of audio latency.

Making its debut at ISE 2024, the solution is ideal for hybrid meetings that require a dedicated presenter microphone and a shared audience microphone with simultaneous sound reinforcement, such as any type of hybrid training or presentation session.

“Wireless microphones have become an essential tool for working professionals, trainers and public speakers. They provide the freedom of movement that today’s users require to effectively engage with their audiences,” ClearOne chief executive officer Derek Graham says.

“The new DIALOG 20 USB Wireless Microphone System is designed to meet the needs of these customers all while allowing ease of deployment.”

Featuring a complete range of handheld, boundary and gooseneck microphone options as well as a beltpack with lanyard, headset or lavalier mics, the DIALOG 20 USB is powered by robust, frequency-hopping spread-spectrum technology with no frequency license restrictions worldwide.

A built-in auto-scan feature automatically finds open channels for optimal reception. Standards-based encryption ensures a secure link for wireless audio and wide audio bandwidth provides superior speech clarity.

Easy to set up, the DIALOG 20 USB wireless microphone connects to a PC via a single USB Type C cable for audio, power and control, eliminating the need for an external power source or any additional audio cables.

The USB microphone also comes pre-integrated with P-Link native connectivity for power, audio and control data with ClearOne’s CONVERGE Pro 2 DSP mixers, making DIALOG 20 USB easy to install and manage through the system’s full-featured software.

Industry-standard connections include USB-C audio, professional XLR and ¼” TRS balanced audio outputs. USB connectivity and low latency make this the perfect wireless microphone for cloud-based collaboration with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, WebEx, GoToMeeting and others.

The receiver has a large colour LCD for viewing battery life, received signal strength and programmable microphone ID labelling. Once the microphone is synced to the receiver the system will assign a random encryption key and scan the room for interference and select the best RF frequencies to operate automatically with a simple button press.

The microphones can be powered with the included environmentally friendly rechargeable NiMH AA batteries (charge via USB) or off-the-shelf AA alkaline batteries.
